During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, China's economic and cultural development reached the peak of history, and people's living standards were high. Under the influence of seasonal diet custom culture, people paid more attention to daily diet and entertainment, which also created the unique diet culture of Tang Dynasty at that time. The unique food culture in Tang Dynasty mainly includes the following three aspects:

1. The prevalence of tea-drinking culture Due to the high economic development and the improvement of the national economic level in the Tang Dynasty, people's pursuit of spiritual level has become more fanatical and intense, among which the development and formation of tea culture have been studied. Poetry prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, and people always liked to drink tea and taste poetry in their spare time, which made the ancients begin to understand the formation and development of tea and make a deeper understanding and excavation, making tea gradually become an important part of spiritual civilization in poetry and the carrier of ancient poetry art. Therefore, the description of tea culture in the Tang Dynasty is increasingly presented in the poetic realm of many poets.

Second, the pasta culture prevailed. In the early Tang Dynasty, rice still appeared in the homes of ordinary people, but in the later period, pasta was more used to replace rice. Pasta became a popular food culture at that time, and its popularity made people regard it as a necessity of life, so it was written into books by many scholars. Pasta descriptions can be found everywhere in all kinds of history books, novels and poems. This also makes the pasta culture become a major feature of the differences between North and South food cultures.

Thirdly, the Confucian diet culture prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, so the Confucian diet culture also deeply influenced us. Confucianism pays attention to health preservation and promotes the development of health preservation culture. By the Tang Dynasty, many people had an altar of medicinal liquor, and the implementation of health culture also made people's diet taste gradually light. In daily life, people mainly use fresh seasonal vegetables, reduce meat, and achieve a balanced nutrition and a combination of meat and vegetables. The development of health culture also promotes the development of tea culture.

The food culture of the Tang Dynasty has influenced all aspects of our lives so far. We should take its essence, discard its dross, and continue to carry forward the excellent part of Tang Dynasty's food culture.
